Expert: Test Pattern Guy Date: 7/10/2006 Subject: 60s-70s TV Show ... Title and Details of Show?
Question Hi.
I am stuck on trying to remember a tv show from the 60s or 70s, and perhaps you can fill me in with its title and other details about it. I thought it starred Michael Cole (from The Mod Squad) but his bio doesn't seem to show it.
It was a show about a group of people marooned on an island that had been used by the Navy for practice targeting runs -they built a whole community and city, with mannekins for people. These marooned people (sort of like a 70s LOST) had to figure out how to survive before worrying about escaping off the island. The lead guy knows how to build internal combustion engines and is able to jury-rig a bunch of dune-buggies, which they drive all over the place.
Any ideas? I keep thinking Land of the Lost, but wasnt that about dinosaurs?
If you have any info, I'd love to hear it, thanks!
Steve
Answer Hey, Steve...
You have me boggled beyond words here... Definitely not Land of the Lost... dinosaurs on Saturday morning... but the desription you are telling me is completely new to me, and I NEVER get something asked of me that I hve never heard a thing in the world about... gonna have to really get into some research about this... you have my curiosity peaked...
Is there anything else you can tell me about this show? Tell me about the other actors... what they looked like, anything....
